Queen band to rock Dublin

The famous musical based on the songs of Queen, one of the eighties biggest rock band, named WeWill Rock You, is scheduled to go live in Dublin.

We will rock you is a jukebox musical and is named after the iconic Queen song. Queen’s members Brian May and Roger Taylor along with English comedian Ben Elton, are behind the production and creation of this musical.

The musical first opened in the West end at the Dominion Theatre on May 14,2002. It is widely known as being one of the audience’s favourite shows, and is one of the longest running musical at that venue.

The show is scheduled to play from the twentieth till the thirty-first of January. The musical will be held at the O2.
